FAQ

Q: How do I confirm that these bearings (68079 & 85043) are the correct parts for my Perkins engine?
A: You should first consult your engine’s service manual or parts catalog. The most reliable method is to remove your old bearings and compare the part numbers stamped on them. If the numbers match 68079 (for the main bearing) and 85043 (for the connecting rod bearing), or the reference 2332-1800, these are the correct parts. You can also check the size using a micrometer.

Q: What is the recommended installation procedure for these engine bearings?
A: Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic. The bearing surfaces and corresponding journals on the crankshaft and connecting rods must be perfectly clean and oiled. Always check the bearing clearance using Plastigauge to ensure it is within the engine manufacturer’s specified tolerance. Torque all bolts to the correct specification in the proper sequence.

Q: Is it necessary to replace both the main and connecting rod bearings at the same time?
A: Yes, it is highly recommended to replace both the main bearings and connecting rod bearings simultaneously during an engine overhaul or rebuild. This ensures consistent oil clearance and uniform wear across all rotating assemblies, preventing future issues like low oil pressure or bearing failure. This kit provides both sets for a complete repair.
